george w. bush basically is next to nowhere to be seen in this book. and nobody in the reviews has suggested that he got it wrong. and frankly i'm more re-assured by bernanke or other heads of the fed, like more than bernanke than let's say either bush or obama whom i supported with great pleasure. and i do think there's so many issues, one of the things i found bizarre about last night's very, very interesting panel is the assumption that in talking about the line item veto there's only one constitution in the united states. now again i'm going to stipulate that the supreme court got it absolutely right as a reading of constitutional law that the u.s. constitution doesn't allow the line item veto. what i think is just bizarre is that we don't even talk about the fact that most states have the line item veto. most states reject the unitary executive. the unitary executive is an aberration of one of the 51 constitutions of the united states. and i think that especially weak law schools, the higher you go up in the pecking order the less likely the stude

romney is advocating pretty much the same policies as george w. bush and will try to paint him as being reckless, too quick to use force, and the like. one more direct line of attack that was tried already was romney did make some statements saying that he didn't think we should gallivant around the world and spend billions of dollars to find one person. he criticized obama's statements that he would go inside pakistan and after bin laden took place during the 2008 campaign. and obama will try to truck that out to show that romney is not tough on terrorism. and then i think he'll try to make the argument that romney in some ways is trapped in the past. maybe making a youth versus someone who is older but romney's statements that russia is our number one geopolitical foe was mocked by a lot of people in the foreign policy establishment including a lot of republicans. the arms control agreement had a very strong bipartisan support and from a lot of republican foreign policy establishment who is surprised at romney making a loose statement like that.

going back over the last ten years, since george w. bush forged a very close relationship with former british prime minister tony blair, with whom he was not an ideological soul mate. here was an opportunity for mitt romney and david cameron, peas in a pod politically, both conservatives to try and establish some kind of alliance that could take them both forward. and instead, mitt romney has found himself causing david cameron to come out and push back on this issue of the olympics, because as chris ship knows, better i think than any of us, david cameron's own credibility is at stake over the success or failure of these olympic games. >> well, let's look at romney trying to clean up the mess. but i do want to remind our viewers here in the states of what david cameron did to take a shot at him in the morning. let's take a look at this morning on the "today" show, our big morning show here. mitt romney tried to end the static he had stirred up with a "nightly news" interview he did with brian williams. he did it by complimenting now.
